Answer:

The width of the rectangle is, 2.5 inches

Explanation:

Given: The length of a rectangle is 16.8 inches , with an area of 42 square inches.

Since Area is 2- dimensional, it has length and width.

Area of Rectangle in square unit is given by multiplying the length by width.

The formula is given by:

Area of rectangle(A) =
length( l) * width(w) ......[1]

Substitute the value of Area (A) = 42 square inches and length
(l) = 16.8 inches in equation [1], to solve for width(w).


42 = 16.8 * w

or


w = (42)/(16.8) = 2.5 inches.

Therefore, the width of rectangle is, 2.5 inches.
